Cavs owner defends stance on LeBron

Basketball Betting Lines

07/12/2010 -

CLEVELAND (AP) -Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert says he ``strongly'' disagrees with Jesse Jackson's criticism of his recent comments about LeBron James.

Following James' announcement last week, Gilbert fired off an incendiary letter to Cleveland's fans, ripping the 25-year-old. He also told The Associated Press that he felt the NBA's two-time MVP quit during the playoffs the past two years and that James ``has gotten a free pass.''

On Sunday, Jackson responded to Gilbert's remarks by saying the Cavs owner sees James as a ``runaway slave'' and that Gilbert's comments put the player in danger.

In a statement released by the team on Monday, Gilbert says the Cavs ``are not going to engage in any related discussion on it.''Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
